Re: AMPS 2011
Thanks Ned, My trophies have arrived safely and now have pride of place at home. It would be a shame if such a longstanding competition disappeared. There are not many left. We should all support it if we can. It is easy to enter, and they accept PAL format DVDs. They even speak English (or at least...

Re: Recommended movies on the web - UPDATED
If you enjoy commercial animation you will love this brilliant parody of a Pixar intro film.

Re: AMPS 2010
Thanks to Michael Slowe for his very kind comments about my film "After The Bus Had Gone". He is slightly confused. It hasn't been in BIAFF yet because I was the final judge last year. I suspect he means it didn't win in Guernsey. Although I was pleased with its "Very Highly Commended...

Re: AMPS Awards/notes
Hi Ned, Thanks for the Awards and notes received about my film "To The Gods". I understand Fingercuff was sent some of my notes by mistake but I have sent him my address to post them on. Thanks again for providing another opportunity for our films to be presented to wider audiences. I shal...

Re: AMPS Awards/notes
Hi Ned,
This was my first entry so I didn't know what to expect. I heard of my success from Dave. Looking forward to reading the words of wisdom of the judges from the other side of the pond.
Happy New Year.
Michael

Re: BIAFF 2009
Hi all, Please be careful with the criticisms you make in public on this forum. Like Brian, I fully appreciate the ordeal that projecting at a major festival entails. I too have checked DVDs only to have them fail on the night. As Reg Lancaster says, “DVDs are the most reliable media in the world. Y...

Despite the positive start I still find Dave’s reply disappointing. His use of the phrase “There is a risk of parochialism” is aimed at the Council. It is my belief that the main contributors to this forum are more parochial than any volunteer member of a Regional or the National Council. I am conce...

Oh dear!. The trouble with all games of Chinese whispers (and this forum is often just an electronic version of that confusing game) is that a piece of mis-information is quickly assumed to be a fact. And another untrue urban myth is created. At 2.39pm on Nov.27th Chrisbitz admitted that he was gues...

As a regular judge I am aware that judging in not a science. You cannot create statistical proof that one film is better than another. The success of a film depends on the personal mental response to what appears on the screen. And, as they say, “The Judge’s decision is final”. But that doesn’t prev...

One liners.
I probably got most of these from Dave's Monthly Madness. If you are going through hell .... keep going - Winston Churchill Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. When they first invented the clock how did they know what time to set it to? B...

Pixel dimensions
HELP !!! As anyone who knows me will verify I am technically ignorant about my hobby. Which proves you can sometimes succeed on instinct. However occasionally it is essential to get correct information. An AV maker is willing to give me a video DVD version of his work to show at my club. He has aske...

Developing Super 8mm film
At a recent Festival I was approached by someone with a 30 year old cartridge of E160, Kodak Ektachrome Super 8mm movie film type A, made in USA.
Can anyone help him with details of where to get it developed?
Thanks

The Noble Network
In this context the word Noble has nothing whatsoever to do with the landed gentry. I'm not posh although some of my best video friends are! I have looked up the word "noble" and it can mean:- "good", "splendid", "admirable" etc. That is precisely what was mea...

75th.Anniversary Film
Hi All, Just to bring you up-to-date on the 75th.Anniversary Film. It is called “The Noble Network” and lasts 28 minutes. Because of it’s length I doubt it will be put on the website. However there is every intention to distribute it as far as possible. David Andrew wrote and directed it and it’s fo...
